Stenentoma Diakonoff, 1969

Type species: Stenentoma chrysolampra Diakonoff, 1969 .

Stenentoma was described by Diakonoff (1969) to accommodate two species from Aldabra Island, S. chrysolampra Diakonoff, 1969 (male genitalia of holotype illustrated by Diakonoff 1969: fig. 30) and S. onychosema Diakonoff, 1969 (male genitalia of holotype illustrated by Diakonoff 1969: fig. 39). Razowski and Krüger (2007) recently transferred S. bisecta (Meyrick, 1918) and S. plectocosma (Meyrick, 1921) to the genus. Diakonoff (1969) concluded that Stenentoma belonged to the “ Laspeyresia, Pammene, or Hemimene group of species” ( Cydia group of genera sensu Komai 1999). The male genitalia are characterized by a very narrow tegumen and long, narrow valvae with a rounded subapical excavation along the venter. Host plants previously were unreported for the genus.
